CHILDHOOD ACUTE LYMPHOBLASTIC LEUKEMIA

A type of cancer which affects the blood and bone marrow, is called Childhood acute lymphoblastic Leukemia ('childhood' because it is more commonly found in children. It is also observed in adults, but very rarely.) In this condition, the white blood cells are affected. Fever, bone pain, bleeding gums, frequent infections, shortness of breath, pale skin, lump formation in the neck, abdomen, groin or underarm and fatigue are result of this chronic illness.
